What Wendy Wore: Meeting Editors With Stacy Lomman

by

Gorgeous clothing designer/blogger Stacy Lomman and I had a joint meet-and-greet with a number of magazine editors, stylists and bloggers on Wednesday. It’s important for journalists to see my designs up close. Even the best photos don’t convey the beauty of jewelry the way seeing a ring on your own finger does. And Stacy’s clothes complement my pieces nicely.

Stacy wore her own designs, of course.

Stacy, in a suit of her own design, posed by a rack of her evening wear.

I opted for a pair of Versace pants that I hadn’t worn since 2008. You can see my jewels displayed behind me.

What Wendy Wore
Sweater: Alexander McQueen (possibly from 2004)
Pants: Versace (also likely from 2004)
Boots: Prada (2008)
Necklace: My own Queen of Scots design

In 2005, I went to a strip club while wearing these pants. No, I was not stripping! I was hanging out with some lady friends. Guys kept coming up to me and saying, “I like your pants” and trying to buy me drinks. I thought that was a strange financial decision. Here you are at a strip club. Give $20 to a stripper and she’ll bounce around topless on your lap. Buy me a $20 drink and you get a whole lot of nothing. Well, perhaps I’ll smile in your direction and, I must admit, my smile is priceless. Maybe it makes sense after all.

  1. What a great event! Thank you my generous friend for having me join you 🙂 And all of your readers should know that this photo I snapped of you doesn’t do you justice. It’s really difficult to pull off patterned pants like this… you need to be skinny minny!

  3. meet and greets with editors and cool pants at strip clubs – you and stacy are my kind of girlfriends!! … so that’s where they have all been hiding…NYC. 🙂

  5. Hi my dear! I hope those trousers were your lucky charm, they look fabulous and hopefully they’ll have generated a lot of future jewellery sales for you!!!

  12. Why wouldn’t they buy you a drink, you’re hot stuff!! I bet the strippers were glad when you left the premises so they could have their $20 tips back ;o)

  15. She’s good: I love that jacket. I have the identical mirror behind you in my living room! The pants accentuate your great figure. That’s why the dogs were sniffing. ie., not cos they’re into fashion.

  16. I adore those pants Wendy. I have a ridiculous collection of loud plaid pants. My favorite pairs is magenta and emerald green D &G jodhpur thingys. I am short and short legged and not that slender. I should not wear plaid pants, and I DO NOT CARE. They make me feel good.
    You however should wear them all the time. They look awesome!

  28. Love love love those pants. They are a never giveaway/throwaway/consign type pant. You look adorable as always.
    and the necklace is perfect with the fit.

    Hope you have an amazing weekend.

  33. Oh, if only the mirror was slightly higher and to the left and you’d have a halo (there’s an idea, would you ever be tempted to make someone a halo? Not sure how it would float, but I’m sure you could work something out.)
